Euripides, Heracles 596
μέλει μὲν οὐδὲν εἴ με πᾶσ᾽ εἶδεν πόλις: Little I care if the whole city saw me
ὄρνιν δ᾽ ἰδών τιν᾽ οὐκ ἐν αἰσίοις ἕδραις : but chancing to see a bird perched in an ill-omened spot
ἔγνων πόνον τιν᾽ ἐς δόμους πεπτωκότα :from it I learned that some trouble had befallen my house
ὥστ᾽ ἐκ προνοίας κρύφιος εἰσῆλθον χθόνα : so on purpose I made my entry to the land by stealth.
